Christmas Cheer 2019 Style

My final layout using Blue Fern Studios’ Christmas Cheer collection features my grandchildren playing with their Christmas loot. Yes, Santa managed to deliver electronics to all of them and so here they are on Christmas afternoon: quite a contrast with years past when the favorite gifts consisted of dolls, play kitchens, Lego and Star Wars toys.

I matted my photo pretty simply for this page, using a couple of layers of stripped corrugate with pieces of chipboard in between to lend some dimension as well as stability.

I tucked a length of crochet trim underneath, forming slight ruffles here and there as I glued it down.

So I’m really trying to put a dent in the stash of flowers that I’ve managed to accumulate over the years. I still have a few packages of the Victorian Christmas blooms and I started to pile them on here, adding a few other small flowers to fill in the gaps.

I added a berry stem and cut up another and tucked the pieces around the flowers.

The last of the trim and a few more flowers, along with a half berry stem were placed in the upper corner to give my page a little balance.

And that’s it: time to pack away the few leftover items and to clean my scrap room and get ready for another project…
